+ How do I configure Eudora for use with Spambayes?
+ -------------------------------------------------
+ 
+ Note: The following instructions have been verified using Eudora 5.1
+ under Windows. If anyone is using Eudora under Max OS please let us
+ know if the configuration is the same as Windows.
+ 
+ Eudora does not allow configuring the server port through the
+ normal options dialogue. However a large number of options are exposed
+ in an initialization file (eudora.ini) read at startup. The contents
+ of the initialization file are documented by clicking on Help->Topics
+ and searching on EUDORA.INI (you may want to print this help page for
+ future reference.) Depending on how you installed Eudora, eudora.ini
+ is located either in the Eudora install directory or the user's
+ setting directory, e.g.::
+ 
+   C:\Documents and Settings\userid\ApplicationData\Qualcomm\Eudora\eudora.ini
+ 
+ 1. Locate ``eudora.ini``.
+ 
+ 2. Make two copies - ``eudoraok.ini`` for backup and ``eudorame.ini`` to
+    modify.
+ 
+ 3. Configure pop3proxy for each of Eudora's personalities' POP3 servers,
+    specifying a separate port for each. For example 1110, 1120, 1130 and
+    1140 for four personalities. Do the same for smtpproxy - for example
+    1115, 1125, 1135 and 1145 corresponding to the four POP3 servers.
+ 
+ 4. Close Eudora.
+ 
+ 5. Open ``eudorame.ini`` with a text editor - Notepad for example. **Do not
+    use a word processor to edit the initialization file**.
+ 
+ 6. Find the section starting with ``[Settings]``. This contains settings for
+    the dominant personality.
+ 
+ 7. Find the line beginning ``POPAccount``. The last part of the account name
+    starting with ``@`` is the server. Change it to ``@localhost``.
+ 
+ 8. Find the lines beginning ``SMTPServer`` and ``POPServer``. They will have
+    the server names defined for your dominant personality.
+ 
+ 9. Change both server names to ``localhost``.
+ 
+ 10, Add the following two lines. Use whatever ports you assigned to
+     pop3proxy and smtpproxy for the dominant personality::
+ 
+     POPPort=1110
+     SMTPPort=1115
+ 
+ 11. Setting for other personalities are kept in sections beginning with
+     ``[Persona-personality_name]``. For each personality make the same
+     changes as you made for the dominant personality, substituting the
+     proper port numbers.
+ 
+ 12. Copy ``eudorame.ini`` to ``eudora.ini`` and re-start Eudora.
+ 
+ 13. In the password dialog for each personality you should see ``localhost``
+     where you used to see the actual server name. This may take some getting
+     used to at first. Since every personality will now have a server named
+     localhost you will have to know what order Eudora prompts for the user
+     id's and passwords.
+ 
+ 14. If there are any problems, close Eudora, copy eudoraok.ini to eudora.ini
+     and restart Eudora. This will restore Eudora's original configuration
+     until the problem can be resolved.
